## Electoral system

Compared to the last election, Latvia was entitled to one more MEP assigned in 2023 after a pre-election assessment of the Parliament composition based on the most recent population figures. The 9 members are elected through open list proportional representation in a single nationwide constituency with seats allocated through Sainte-Laguë method and a 5% electoral threshold.
Both Latvian and EU citizens residing in the country are entitled to vote in the European elections in Latvia. No registration is needed for Latvian citizens, while other EU citizens residing in Latvia are required to register with the Central Electoral Commission. In addition, those eligible to vote must turn 18 years old by election day at the latest.
